"I could never sell douche because I do not look fresh at all. I hate those commercials, anyway. I got so mad one day because I was watching TV and in the morning, I saw this woman and she was in a Monistat 7 commercial and that same day, I saw the same woman in an Always maxi-pad commercial. And I'm like, "Look, honey, I know way too much about your vagina." -Margaret Cho

Jokes, aside, I do applaud Kimberly Clark and Organic for tackling such a subject. If it gets women talking, great. I'm just not sure the subject really needs an open mike, so to speak.

Also, I must say, the name "Poise" is slightly off putting. I don't know if it sounds condescending because it's attached to the "taboo shattering" rhetoric, or if it's because the subject is nothing more than a storm in a teacup.

Either way, the word "poise" should be reserved for one woman and one woman only.

This ad is rude and offensive in every way. It makes women feel embaressed to be going through menopause. Perhaps we should have similiar ads highlighting the details of erectile dysfunction or hair loss for men. I would never buy this product based on this ad.
